System Requirements

  • VM or physical server. Physical server will perform better and better utilize all CPU cores.
  • One management network interface, completely separate from the traffic shaping interfaces. Usually this would be the Ethernet interface built in to the motherboard.
  • Dedicated Network Interface Card
  • NIC must have two or more interfaces for traffic shaping.
  • NIC must have multiple TX/RX transmit queues. Here's how to check from the command line.
  • Ubuntu Server 22.04 or above recommended. All guides assume Ubuntu Server 21.10 or above. Ubuntu Desktop is not recommended as it uses NetworkManager instead of Netplan.
  • Kernel version 5.14 or above
  • Python 3, PIP, and some modules (listed in respective guides).
  • Choose a CPU with solid single-thread performance within your budget.
  • Choose a CPU with solid single-thread performance within your budget. Generally speaking, any new CPU above $200 can probably handle shaping up to 2Gbps.
